The ‘nginx’ program is prone to multiple directory-traversal
vulnerabilities because the software fails to sufficiently sanitize
user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit these issues using directory-traversal strings
(‘…/’) to overwrite arbitrary files outside the root directory.
These issues affect nginx 0.7.61 and 0.7.62; other versions may also
be affected.
